2007-Aug-08 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
* Renamed locate.cpp's distance() to DistanceTest() and moved it to trigo.cpp.
Pass more parameters to DistanceTest and removed globals that were used by
distance() in locate.cpp.
Moved and renamed DistanceTest function proto from protos.h to trigo.h.
* Implemented HitTest() for class_cotation, class_mire, and a few other classes
by factoring out existing code from locate.cpp. locate.cpp should operate
exactly the same as before.
* Detected that the suspected class_module hit-testing bug was not real,
i.e. no bug found.
2007-aug-08 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
bug in class_hierarchy_sheet.cpp.
+ pcbnew
small change in block commands:
rastnest was updated for each footprint, while moving footprints.
Now it is updated at the end of changes.
enhancements in block.cpp and connect.cpp
2007-Aug-07 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
* More searching work. Made HitTest() virtual. Factored out a HitTest()
function for both class_module and class_pad from existing code.
* Embellished the Show() function for several of the classes. Could be the
basis of a possible future XML export, but with the native format being
ascii already, this is of questionable value as an export.
* Discovered a long time existing bug in class_module hit-testing.
Still need to understand it. It could just be an improperly formatted module.
2007-Aug-06 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
Started sketching out a new search architecture. To learn more:
look for "INSPECTOR" text in base_struct.h.
2007-Aug-05 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
* Added some conditional DEBUG code for showing the pcb object tree in
simple XML format. See class EDA_BaseStruct's new Show() function.
* Changed the function name of Locate( const wxPoint& ref_pos ) to bool HitTest(..)
in both class_text_mod and base_struct.
* More beautification and commenting.
2007-Aug-04 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Read-ability formatting, I am playing with a C++ beautifier called "uncrustify".
I had to patch it and spent 2 days getting it configured. Patch not
sent upstream yet.
Fixed a bug in "display local ratsnest pad or module": if you had a small
module and the mouse clicked its reference text, the ratnest for
the associated module would not show. The work around was to add
support to Show_1_Ratsnest() so it could take a TYPETEXTEMODULE as
the result of the hit-testing. But I think a longer term better
solution will be to create a specific search function for this kind
of hit-testing, one which could disregard text and look only for
pads and modules.
2007-aug-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Drc test now generates a DRC file report.
2007-Jul-31 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Drill Map and Drill Report files now list the diameters of each drill in
the selected drill unit first, and then in the other drill unit.
Drill report files also now list the tool assigned to each drill, and
the correct hole count and oval count for each drill size; the
file creation date and the selected drill unit are also listed.
2007-Jul-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Some file are added (missing .prj files)
Better Drc test:
Zones can be tested.
better pad to pad test.
2007-Jul-25 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
** Some minor enhancements
+ pcbnew
In Drc diags, better (more explicit) messages
Change (and simplify) code in 'update' as well as 'insert' modules into main PCB from within the module editor,
because it had a bug (crashes when there was no footprint in pcb)
2007-June-21 UPDATE Tim Hanson <tim@hardcarve.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
1. added button to 'update' as well as 'insert' modules into main PCB
from within the module editor. Made them functional, of course.
2. added control-o, control-s & control-f to pcbnew,
though I'm not perfectly happy with the implementation -- wxwidgets puts
the control-characters in alphabetical order!
2007-June-25 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
minor enhancement in Edit footprint dialog (more help tool tips).
better hotkey.cpp (code cleaning and info messages)
2007-June-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dickelbeck@yahoo.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
After locking a module with 'L', update the status window with the locked
status. Side step some asserts from wxWidgets which were happening when
running compiled for debug.
2007-June-16 UPDATE Richard A Burton <richardaburton@gmail.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
fix debug assert starting pcbnew with wx2.6
+ build
add install targets for resources and docs
2007-June-15 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dickelbeck@yahoo.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
** only modules on the present layer are subject to individual module
moves, rotations, or layer swaps, with the 'M', 'G', 'R' or 'S' hotkeys.
** only unlocked modules are subject to the individual module moves,
rotations, or layer swaps, with the 'M', 'G', 'R' or 'S' hotkeys.
** implemented the 'L' hotkey to quickly lock or unlock a module,
just by hovering over it and hitting the 'L' or 'l' key. The lock is
toggled.
** Enhanced locate.cpp's Locate_Prefered_Module(BOARD * Pcb, int typeloc)
significantly, it now has a widely ranging behavior based on the
typeloc argument.
2007-June-14 UPDATE Igor Plyatov <plyatov@mail.ru>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
Added sorting by value or position in to the annotation window (Thanks for patch to Andrey Fedorushkov).
2007-June-13 RELEASE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+All:
merging my development with svn version
+ pcbnew:
bug fix (problem in postscript generation due to the internationalization
of floating point number notation )
added tool to select layer pair and monitor active layer
+ eeschema
bug fix:
crash libedit when loading certain components (linux only)
incomplete generation of erc file list
2007-June-13 UPDATE Richard A Burton <richardaburton@gmail.com>
================================================================================
+ build:
dynamic linking by default, use make -f makefile.gtk KICAD_STATIC_LINK=1
or uncomment the bit in libs.linux for static
2007-June-11 UPDATE Richard A Burton <richardaburton@gmail.com>
================================================================================
+ build:
removed several 2 line scripts for configuring wx builds and put them in
how-to-build-kicad.txt
improved KICAD_STATIC_LINK handling so it can be overridden on the command
line e.g. "make -f makefile.gtk KICAD_STATIC_LINK=0"
2007-June-11 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dickelbeck@yahoo.com>
================================================================================

+ pcbnew:
fixed 3d-display image export (blank box in image)
+ build:

2007-May-25 RELEASE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew:
bug: problem with 3D shapes.
+ Gerbview:
Better (but crude...) support to export gerber files to pcbnew.
